Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is a technical standard that enables mobile devices to access information over wireless networks, compatible with various operating systems. It allows for efficient service delivery to mobile users but has limitations such as small screens and speed issues. In contrast, Internet Protocol (IP) supports broader networking capabilities and is primarily used for fixed internet connections, while WAP offers more flexible access from any location.

 WAP stands for Wireless Application protocol.
 It is a technical standard for accessing information over a
mobile wireless network.
 WAP is an application communication protocol.
 WAP is inherited from Internet standards.
WAP

3. 
To enable easy, fast delivery of relevant information
and services to mobile users.
Type of devices that use WAP
Handheld digital wireless devices such as mobile
phones, pagers, two-way radios, smart phones and
communicators -- from low-end to high-end.
Purpose of WAP

4. 
• WAP is independent of OS that means WAP can
be implemented on any OS.
• It can be built on any operating system including
Palm OS, EPOC 32, Windows CE, FLEXOS,
OS/9, Java OS, etc. It provides service
interoperability even between different device
families.
Operating systems that are compatible
with WAP

5. 
WAP Programming Model

6. 
WAP Optional Proxy Model

7. 
• open standard, vendor independent
• network-standard independent
• transport mechanism–optimized for wireless
data bearers
• application downloaded from the server,
enabling fast service creation and introduction,
as opposed to embedded software
ADVANTAGES

8. 
• Small screens
• Speed of access
• Limited or fragmented availability
• Price
• Lack of user habit
DISADVANTAGES of WAP

 one-to-all (broadcast)
 one-to-several (multicast)

The internet is a global system
of interconnected computer
networks. This is the network
that we connect to through our
computers and modems.
WAP is a technical standard
for accessing information over
a mobile wireless network.
This is what we use on our
mobiles and smartphones to
view web pages.
Internet uses browsers with
large files like Internet
Explorer.
WAP uses mini-browsers like
opera mini.

Internet services are provided
by Internet service providers.
WAP services are provided by
companies that support the
operation of the handheld
devices.
Internet can only be accessed
from a place with an Internet
connection.
WAP can be accessed from
anyplace.
You have to change Internet
settings every time you
change locations
But you don’t have to when
using WAP.
